Blackberry Smoke

Blackberry Smoke are an American country rock band created in Atlanta, Georgia at the turn of the century by singer-guitarist Charlie Starr, bass player Brit Turner, guitarist Paul Jackson, keyboard player Brandon Still and drummer Brit Turner. They toured with top acts including the Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd before headlining their own tours. In a review of a 2017 concert at the Roundhouse in London, the Independent newspaper called them "raucous, crowd-pleasing and kind-spirited" as they performed "unapologetic, sprawling, blues-infused hoedowns" and said they delivered "a crisp, generous 21-song set with tracks from their polished latest album, Like an Arrow." That release went to number 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums and Americana/Folk Albums charts, number 3 on the Top Rock Albums Chart, and number 8 on the Official UK Albums Chart. Their 2015 album Holding All the Roses began a run of three LPs (including 2016’s Like an Arrow, and 2018’s Find a Light) that went Top 10 on the Rock Album chart, Top 5 on the US Country chart, and number 1 on the UK Rock chart. They capped the decade in 2019 with a live album and returned in 2021 with You Hear Georgia, which peaked at number 5 on the Top Country Albums chart. Preceded by the singles "Dig a Hole," "Little Bit Crazy," and "Hammer and the Nail," their eighth studio LP Be Right Here arrived in 2024.
